About Kettillonia

Kettillonia is a publisher of pamphlets based in Angus, Scotland. It aims to put original, adventurous, neglected and rare writing into print, published as pamphlets at £3.00 per volume.

Our titles are as diverse a bunch as you could hope for: poems and stories from the Hilltown in Dundee; the relative merits of python-wrestling and spaghetti hoops discoursed upon in medieval Scots; Horace updated and relocated to modern Edinburgh; a dual Gaelic/Scots vision of the Day of Judgment; Hitchcock's most notorious scenes revisited in verse; a childhood in Fife; Baudelaire in Scots; the forgotten verse of the greatest female poet Scotland has so far produced (according to Hugh MacDiarmid); the short stories of a Hollywood scriptwriter, so shocking to the Aberdeenshire village of her birth that they banned them from the public library; the unassuming but strangely beautiful lives of Mr and Mrs Philpott; a future Scotland nine-tenths underwater and described in 21st-century Scots, a poetry collection where Zen Calvinism, the Bible and Space Invaders interface; poems celebrating the forgotten workers of hospitals; reminiscences of growing up in Edinburgh in the 1950s; poetry in which the wizard Michael Scot takes on the Devil; eighteen portraits of men in love and without love...

If you want to keep your finger on the pulse of Scottish writing, Kettillonia is an excellent pressure point.
